ABSTRACT This article describes the anti-racist project developed by the Arquivo Edgard Leuenroth (AEL — Edgard Leuenroth Archive) at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil that involves assembling collections pertaining to black social organizations in the state of São Paulo for preservation and dissemination. The project understands the relation between archives and anti-racism in two dimensions. One considers the very gesture of incorporating materials into the archival apparatus and the other involves the search for a new participatory paradigm for archival practices and decision-making. The collections enable us to reimagine the role of black organizations in the history of the country and its future, thus preserving and ensuring access to them is part of a broader initiative to redefine the place of the archival institution in policies aiming to dismantle racism.

ABSTRACT Using the concept of the ‘colour line,’ by which W.E.B. Du Bois named the problematic ‘relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea,’ this article argues that the ongoing custody of archives displaced to Europe during decolonization constitutes an ‘archival colour line’ that both results from and recapitulates the racism of the imperial project. The article does this by first arguing that developments in post-custodialism return significance to custody, calling into question the value of ‘digital repatriation’ and ‘joint’ or ‘shared heritage.’ Establishing the importance of archival custody, the article then considers the racialized nature of archival displacements in postcolonial contexts, drawing on data from a recent international survey. To look more closely at how such an archival colour line might be constituted, the article examines the dispossession of people from Kericho, Kenya, to illuminate three stages of archival colour line formation; the colonial setting (provenance); decolonization and the reconfiguration of economic interests (appraisal); and postcolonial archives and the momentum of reckoning (custody). The article concludes that the ongoing European custody of the records in question results from and fortifies a global racist order.

ABSTRACT Structural racism and white supremacy are hot topics that spark debate amongst UK archivists. This paper makes use of a survey created as part of a Masters in Archives and Records Management at the University of Liverpool in 2020, to examine archivists’ perceptions of white supremacy in UK archives. It demonstrates that although there is a strong appetite for change within the sector, white supremacy can be seen to influence some archivists’ judgment, and decisive action is needed to prevent this from impeding the positive progress of anti-racist activities towards countering the negative impact of white supremacy.

ABSTRACT This article will give an in-depth analysis of our journey in decolonizing the archives of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) which began in 2019 and is ongoing. It will give readers the opportunity to understand how an institution created by the Colonial Office is confronting its history and its colonial legacy, and how the Archives Service is changing its practices in a way that seeks to confront and disrupt the colonial narrative. This has been achieved through an overview of the colonial history of the School by a research fellow and the development of decolonizing principles covering cataloguing practice, archival practice, dissemination, education and inclusion.
